yes, it
requires
some skill
to write a
real quadrille;
musical, like
a trill, a thrill
to take up
your best quill
let creative
juices spill;
count each
word,
you will
keep writing
until the
quota of
cuarenta y cuatro
you fill…
then chill.
Chilling at the poets’ pub today, writing quadrilles on the word “spill”.

Your quadrille has made me chill; it’s cheered me up! As I mentioned on someone else’s post, it’s dull and wet here!

Glad to cheer you 😀

Spill, then chill. Good advice for many endeavors.

Hi Lynn..I actually had to count backwards from 96–the original number of words in my poem. I am a bad guesser when it comes to numbers or distances!

Hi Judy 😄

I so like this Lynn! And you are 100% right – spill then chill.
